Product Details
Many Catholics today are unaware of the aspect of Catholic teaching that has been a perennial part of Christian spirituality for centuries and that concerns creation and its creatures. Christopher J. Thompson is a local author and professor at the St. Paul Seminary. In his book The Joyful Mystery Field notes Toward a Green Thomism he draws on the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas as he seeks to revive the Church's practice of integral ecology and encourages the reader to a deeper awareness of the presence of God as Creator and Lord of the Universe.
Integral ecology is the bond between humans and the natural world and this bond was addressed by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si where he says "we are part of nature". Thompson reiterates that "until the splendor of creation is recovered, the path to a vibrant Catholic culture seems cut off". One reader says that in Thompson's book he "weaves a challenging argument that all creation is the embodiment of God's wisdom". The Joyful Mystery is a thought-provoking and well written book offering a new look at the connection between humans and the world around us as seen through the teachings of the Catholic Church.
